Liz, how big are your carabiner clips? Do you do leads with those instead of a clip? Do you use any small clips?

I'm in the market for a strong lead with a small, non-bulky clip. The trainer we're about to start working with was talking to me about revisiting the Easy Walk harness with a smaller clip so it doesn't bang against Robin's chest. I'm investigating my options. We'll see

I always hated the banging of front clip harnesses, too - part of the reason I stopped using them. That, and they didn't work for Inara. You might want to try clipping the leash to the front ring, but then running the leash under that front strap. Still works like a front clip harness but no banging.

Or buy one of my leashes. They're magic and fix all woes.

Have a couple projects planned for this weekend - Erin's martingale/lead combo (haven't forgotten you!) and something I'm teaming up with Ana of Paco Collars and Jacki of the Collar Shop to do. If I'm happy with both items, I'll post pics when they're done!

Liz...what's your turnaround time like nowadays? I wanted to order two leads for the kids, for the upcoming flyball tourney...but I don't have the money *right* now...so it'd be a week or so before I could order...but the tourney is the second weekend in Oct. Not sure if that'd give you enough time.

If I have the colors on hand, I can get you two leads in a week and a half. For you, I'd haul ass.

if you know what you want, and you definitely are going to order, let me know what you want and I'll go ahead and start it. And I placed a huge cord order today so I should have most any color you need by the end of this week.

yea! They're gonna be so excited...and I'll be happy that they won't keep using MY leashes and leaving them all over the crating area. I figured 4' because they like to keep the dogs close (which is good!)
